Renowned Japanese Artist Chooses All Pilgrims Christian Church to Receive "Pentecost" and "Sacred Light"

Keiko Miura, world-renowned Japanese stained-glass artist, has chosen Seattle's All Pilgrims Christian Church to receive two generous gifts of liturgical art. The first gift is the seven-paneled "Pentecost," a brilliant modern stained-glass creation in multiple hues of red. It depicts, in abstract form, the scene of Pentecost from the biblical Book of Acts. The window is stunning in both low and radiant light, each emphasizing unique aspects and themes. All Pilgrims Christian Church was originally chartered on Pentecost Day (2003), hence this gracious gift takes on still greater significance for the congregation and community.

Following consultation with the pastors, the Reverends Peter Drury & Mark Travis, a second gift was granted. "Sacred Light" is a tall three-dimensional window in blue and crystal which graces the eye like a deep blue icy stream. The window is distinctive for its jagged pieces of clear glass protruding toward the viewer with striking elegance.
